If My Sophomore Year Of College Taught Me Anything, It Was To Embrace The Unknown

Although my sophomore year was a pretty good overall, I have begun to face a lot of unknowns, as the year comes to an end.

A lot has happened during my sophomore year of college. I was very active in my community group and ministries that I was involved with. I grew closer to my group of friends and have made amazing memories with them, and I have grown so much in my faith in God. Although my sophomore year was a pretty good overall, I have begun to face a lot of unknowns, as the year comes to an end.

I am going to school to be an elementary school teacher, and in order to get into that program, I have to pass the GKT. I have taken the test a couple of times and still have not attained the scores I need. Recently, I have started to question if this is what God wants me to be doing with my life. I know that I am so passionate about kids, and helping them grow and learn. I don't know if me not passing right away is just a bump in the road, or something more than that.

Lately, I have been filled with so much confusion and conflicting thoughts about what I am supposed to be doing. I know that God already has my whole life planned out, and He knows when and if I am going to ever pass this test. I am hopeful that one day I will be able to succeed in it and continue to chase my dreams of becoming a teacher. I have been doing some serious praying and just asking God to lead me into what I am supposed to be doing. It is scary to not know what the future holds, but it all fizzles down to just trusting God. Although trusting God with the unknowns of our life is hard, it's the best thing we can do when stuff like this shows up.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
